This Friday July 5th at 2600 we will demonstrate how to preform hardware glitching attacks. Glitching attacks have become very popular in the game console and mobile phone scene. We will discuss clock and power glitching concepts and demonstrate clock glitching attacks on some ExploitMe sketches designed for arduino boards.

This is a standard 2600 meeting: First Friday of the month starting at 7pm. This event is open to the public.

Sorry for the late announcement. We will be meeting this Friday, May 3rd, at 7PM. May 3rd is the annual International Day Against DRM. So I thought we could discuss Digital Rights Management systems and I can show my old presentation. As always, if you have something you want to present, or a demo you want to give, you are encouraged to do so.

We will be meeting at the Hive13 hacker space in Camp Washington, 2929 Spring Grove Ave at 7pm. Maps and other details about the location can be found here. See you there!

Join us at Hive13 this Tuesday, May 14, at the 7:30 pm meeting for an informative look into Do-It-Yourself Crime-Scene-Investigation Forensics.

Member Brian Cochran (who is a Detective in the Boone County Sheriff’s Department assigned to crime scene investigation) will use material from the 40-hour course he teaches at the University of Tennessee’s National Forensic Academy. Brian will perform live demonstrations of some of the coolest latent print development techniques; making finger prints appear on paper, making them glow, and fun stuff like that. The presentation will include a brief overview with slides showing real CSI jobs and case studies. The case studies focus on the processes that are used and where the “maker” attitude was applied to bring the case to a successful conclusion. The two case studies that will be presented are homicides. Real crime scene photography and a limited number of postmortem examination photos will be shown. It will not be anything different from what you would see on an episode of CSI or Dexter but these ARE real. Both of these case study presentations have been shown to high school groups before, but this is an UP FRONT WARNING for those inclined to be squeamish.

Members, guests, first-time-walk-ins, and those interested in law enforcement and criminal investigations are welcome to come to hear this presentation. Come to learn about this different kind of (“making” the case) skill. (Find Us)

On May 4th Hive13 together with 2600 will take part in International Day Against DRM. On May 4th you are encouraged to spread word about the harms of DRM. On Friday we will discuss how harmful DRM is as well as give demonstrations on how to liberate some of your digital goods from the DRM shackles. We plan to focus primarily on ebooks just to keep the demos reasonably small. If you have any experience with removing certain types of ebook protections please bring any tools or techniques with you for open discussion. At this time we already have some volunteers that will demonstrate the remove of DRM for Adobe’s DRM plus I personally have a collection of scripts for: Mobipocket (.prc/.mobi), Kindle Mobipocket (.azw), Kindle Topaz (.tpz/.azw1), Kindle Print Replica (.azw4), Adobe ePub (.epub), Adobe PDF (.pdf), B&N ePub (.epub), B&N/Fictionwise eReader (.pdb).
